    Oh yes, this is a must-make classic salad for the holidays! And then in January, you can make the chicken Waldorf salad version for a full-meal weekly meal prep. What other salads are you guys serving up for the holidays? xo - Lisa

      My Grandma used to make it with celery, sweet onions, walnuts, sweet apples, mayo, salt and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Sometimes she would keep out the cinnamon and add curry powder along with bits of left over meat.

    My mother was born in 1908 and got her Waldorf Salad recipe from HER mother. We use the 'dump'' method in my family so I'll list her ingredients but I have no measurements. We don't use mayonnaise at all in my family. Walnuts, apples, celery, crushed canned pineapple in syrup. Take the juice from the pineapple can and put it in a double boiler and add cornstarch for thickening-this becomes your dressing and is plenty sweet enough. We have this every winter holiday and have for all my 73 years and always get compliments.

    • @UnboxCraftyMagic

      Sounds interesting but as a dressing I would try blended pineapple with coconut yogurt I think that could could be a little more exotic 🤓 😋

    • @galejohnson8086
      @galejohnson8086 Год назад +9

      I remember my grandmother thickening pineapple juice plus lemon juice and spreading this over a avacado/walnut gelatin salad. The bottom part of the salad was creamy green colored, so probably had cream cheese or sour cream in it. She rarely used a recipe, as she raised 15 children plus cooked for farm hands, and recipes weren’t written in the big quantities she cooked in. Thanks for rebooting my memories!

    • @jmarie92625
      @jmarie92625 Год назад +5

      Wow - that sounds delicious! I used to love canned pineapple and would mix it with cottage cheese which was surprisingly good. In fact, the stores used to sell cottage cheese and pineapple in the olden days. Doing the math, my mother was born in 1928 and I'm 70 so your parents had you rather late in life, especially for that era. But, it's always nice communicating with someone who is actually older than I am 🤷‍♀

  • @LostLeftyLimb
    @LostLeftyLimb Год назад +2

    Great recipe. Just a little tip or call it a request. All of the best youtube cooking channels make a point to either have the ingredients and portions listed in the video description or they list them all together and the amounts somewhere in the video usually the beginning “you’ll need ….” That way your audience doesn’t have to hear that you can use green grapes to make a stylish monochromatic salad” 10 times because they keep forgetting or getting interrupted when they are trying to find out how many apples to use. Personally my kitchen is chaotic, there’s a million things going on cats stealing ingredients off the counter and people who decide that moment is when they remembered that thing they forgot to ask you about. It just makes life so much easier. I subscribe to those channels just because they do that. I can go back once and get what I need to know. Anyway keep up the good work. Great recipes.

    One of my favorite fruit salads, and I've tasted it in so many variations! I'll toast the nuts the next time; I always skipped that step. Cranberries are a must for me, and now I'm also intrigued with adding chicken, which I never dared to do with this salad before. Lots of things to try today! Thanks for sharing it, Lisa!

    Wonderful salad. I also sometimes season the dressing with curry powder, use chicken and all the goodies, and it is a wonderful curry salad. Then i sometimes use chopped broccoli with all the goodies plus some crumbled bacon, and presto…you have a wonderful broccoli salad. For the holidays, my family will ask me to bring “one of your…you know all the stuff in it…salad”. Thanks for the inspiration. I know this one is a good one!

    A really great recipe for an exceptional salad. I am really amazed that, contrary to all clichés, such wholesome and healthy recipes come from the USA. I will definitely try. From me another tip for the fastest mayonnaise in the world, which is even better preserved than the original: 100 ml milk in a high container. 200 plant oil on top. Place the hand blender on the bottom of the vessel, mix and slowly pull up. It's going to be perfect.
